  • Patent number: 11263126
    Abstract: A data storage device may include a nonvolatile memory apparatus and a controller. The controller may be configured to translate a logical address into a physical address when receiving a host command (such as a write command or a read command) including the logical address from a host device, to generate a pre-command including the physical address, to transmit the generated pre-command to the nonvolatile memory apparatus before completing one or more remaining operations of the operations used to process the host command, and to transmit a confirm command to the nonvolatile memory apparatus when the remaining operations are complete. The controller may perform the remaining operations and the transmission of the pre-command to the nonvolatile memory apparatus at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8704601
    Abstract: The present invention includes a class-E power amplifier, comprising a driver stage (DS) including a first power amplifier with transistors, to which an input signal is inputted; a main stage (MS), including a second power amplifier with transistors, whose input is connected to the output of the DS; and a first LC resonator whose one end is connected to the output of the DS and the other end to the ground as an AC equivalent circuit and a second LC resonator whose one end is connected to the input of the MS and the other end to the ground as an AC equivalent circuit. In accordance with the present invention, as the voltage stress is reduced on the CMOS class-E power amplifier, the application of the high power supply voltage may be allowed and therefore the load impedance may be high while the same efficiency is maintained.
